Core saturation in transformers

AI Thread Summary
Core saturation in transformers can be identified when the secondary voltage begins to drop or by analyzing the waveform with an oscilloscope. To calculate the saturation voltage, specific equations can be used, although the discussion does not provide a detailed formula. Suggestions for further research include searching online resources and watching educational videos for better understanding. Practical results should align with theoretical predictions regarding core saturation. Understanding these concepts is crucial for effective transformer operation and analysis.

Hello,

I am currently working with mono phase transformers. I would like to know if there is an equation to calculate the voltage when the core saturates so I can compare with my practical results with.

Thank you very much
João

Interesting. How will you recognize core saturation in your practical results?

Hello NascentOxygen,

This was another problem. The solution presented was to check when the voltage in the secondary side starts to drop or analyse the waveform in the secondary side using a scope. Do you have any suggestions for that too?

What you wrote sounds spot on.

My suggestion would be to try a google search. I'm sure you will find it well explained. Youtube might hold some surprises, too.

Good luck! Your understanding of transformers is about to *explode*. :smile:
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
